Hi Julia,
I was browsing through pinterest for good images on coil projects to show my students at Fountain Valley High School, and I usually like to present on a contemporary artist/teacher and fell in love with your squid coil lamp vase. I looked at your website and saw that you taught in Hawaii but then came across your resume to include a small bio of you in my powerpoint and saw that you went to Golden West College and CSULB! I was so excited! I will definitely share this with my students tomorrow. I took ceramics both hand building and wheel throwing at Golden West but have my BA from CSULB. I am a student teacher and am on my way to receiving my teaching credential. Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that I absolutely love your work!! And your students’ as well. I am impressed my their creativity and can’t believe they are only in middle school. They are lucky to have such an awesome teacher and will go very far in HS. Congrats on your tenure and have a great time being an artist and a teacher! =)
Best,
Ngoc Vu
Aloha Ngoc!
Thank you for sharing our So. Cal. connection and checking out my blog! It seems that you are on a similar path to the one I took to becoming an Art teacher. In fact, I think I may have done some of my classroom observations at Fountain Valley High. It can take patience and persistence to get into an Art teaching job that is a good fit for your talents, but it’s worth it! Thank you again for sharing my blog with your students and good luck on your journey!
Julia
